We analyze muon and electron lepton-number nonconservation in a pure V-A. gauge model. The rates for p ey, p,-eee, and KL,pe are computed for this model. We find that for a reasonable range of neutral heavy-lepton mass these rates are in accord with, but not extremely small compared to, present experimental bounds. We comment on the nonorthogonality of v, and v", and interesting features of the I. decays. Some time ago we discussed a six-quark model' with only left-handed currents. This is a minimal extension of the "standard" four-quark Weinberg-Salam SU(2) U(1) gauge model' which allows CP nonconservation to be incorporated. The alternatives are right-handed currents' or proliferation of Higgs bosons. 4 Such a model leads to approximate superweak (or microweak') predictions for CP nonconservation. The model also includes
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
